Run.Hide.Fight.

Unfortunately, active shooter incidents in the workplace
or other large public venues have become a reality in
today's society. Although infrequent, the impact of
these events has far reaching effects, not only on the
victims and their loved ones, but on their communities
and our nation as a whole. Law enforcement nationwide
has responded decisively with a variety of dynamic
training approaches designed to direct first responders
during incidents of this nature. Many citizens have
probably imagined themselves in similar situations and wondered what they would or should do. Law enforcement
is now reaching beyond the ranks of our first responders
and offering citizens some guidance. This video was
created by the City of Houston and is designed to assist
citizens with some scenario-based training regarding
active shooter events.View the video here. (Video is available in Spanish, Chinese and Vietnamese here.) This video contains dramatized scenes of violence that may be disturbing to some viewers.
